READ THIS!October 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My husband recommended this book to me, and I couldn't put it down. It was very easy to read. We each read it over a year ago, and yet we reference it ALL THE TIME!
Covey does a good job with illustrating his points. I think it would have been a boring book to me if anyone else had written it...but Covey made me not want to put it down! It was a page turner!!
You should definitely read this book!

Habits! Yes, consistent, belief-based, and optimized habits are the only way to be your best self. Thoughts are the parents of our experience and performance. This guy will guide you to it. You will also learn how to optimize these habits with Rosalene Glickman's book, Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self (endorsed by Covey). These books will bring that optimal consistency into every aspect of your life.

A recipe for life success (I first heard it 8 years ago). Covey's style is compelling in audio - for me much better than reading the book. Listen to it twice (at least) to let it sink in.

While I read through this wonderful book, I came to a striking realisation: There exist ways to deal with any situation in life effectively. Stephen Covey has put these into writing. The challenge remains to live by these universal principles - which Covey did not create but so prudently recognises - but realising they exist is the first step. How one person, through years of research even, put this vital gem so rich in content together escapes me. It's as if the book was written from the creator of these concepts themselves - a higher force.
